Drawing Strength From Others

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,

Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me” has been stuck in my head all morning. I have no idea where it came from but at least it is one of the better songs to get stuck in my head lately. I’m sure that you’ve all heard a version of it at some point in your lives as it has been remade a lot but nothing quite lives up to the King version for me. Take inspiration from the lyrics of this song and write about a character that draws her strength from others. Is this in a metaphoric sense like knowing that people believe in her helps her to keep pursuing her goals? Or are you going for a more literal sense like magically drawing strength out of another character in some way? What is the connection between your character and the person she draws her strength from?
